We report the first use of a nonionic solid (NIS) as a template in mechanosynthesis of a metal-organic framework. Through eight intermolecular C-H···O hydrogen bonds, the macrocyclic MeMeCH template predictably functions as a "shoe-last" for the assembly of double-eight rings in the liquid-assisted reaction of ZnO and imidazole (ImH). The resulting new form of ZnIm (namely xMeMeCH@RHO-ZnIm) is available in multigram amounts, highly porous, and thermally stable.
